Puzzellations is our line of foam tessellation puzzles. These puzzles combine
art and math to stimulate creativity. Most of them are simple enough for five-year olds,
but can also challenge older kids and the brainiest adults. All of our puzzles
have many different solutions, allowing them to be used over and over again.
Puzzellations come in two different Packs:
Magnet Packs have magnet-backed foam pieces, while
Classroom Packs have enough regular foam pieces for 10-15 students.
